Dying Romeo

Death likened to a sweetest escape Encompasses me about. The suffering Of the weary and weak at heart is Finally to be rectified. To know no More another daybreak, and to die As death passes slowly over me, Sufficient enough is life's debt Repaid.

A blackened tomb ere my lady waits, Never to feel lights warmth again. She calls ever silent and in love Do i go, to face cold death for in Death lies my love.

this piece is very strong and riley is right in his comparison to shak. and ed. this is deep and very easy to relate to which makes it fun to read. one thing you could improve on is making the lines in stanza form.
